If there is any one department
in our vast establishment which
can without question be called
"great" and complete" it is the
one devoted to all that is perfect
in BLACK DRESS GOODS.
AS long ago as last fall we
placed ourselves in direct commu-
nication with the most celebrated
manufacturers of Europe, THE
FAMOUS PRIESTLY & co.
This firm is justly famed for the
remarkable purity of their Blacks,
their power to maintain the rich
black color SO long as thread of
their goods lasts for the absolute
uniformity of their goods, season in
and season out and the absolute
certainty of the utmost durability
of all that they produce.
The final test of all black goods,
admitting the excellence of quail
ity, is of course in their power to
maintain their rich, pure color as
long as the goods last. This is
just what the Priestly goods have
earned the high title to do
OF these goods, THE SILK
WARP HENRIETTAS are the
standard all the year for elegant
dresses. There is absolutely moth
ing to be said of them to-day, for
their fame is equal on both sides
of the Atlantic for every excellent
quality. We have them in full sup
ply for SIPS to S2.25 per yard.
Next to them comes the splendid
MELROSE, particularly desirable
for ladies who like Grape effects.
The DRAP p ALMA is another
of the elegant Priestly produc-
tions. 1t is diagonal weave, firm
and rich.
Then comes the VENETIAN,
which may properly be called
Grape Cloth, and costs 81 to SL75;
then the Camels' Hair Mourning
Cloth, very beautiful, 81 to $3.50
Ladies who like some relief from
the plain Grape will take kindly to
the Camels' Hair Grape, costing
So per yard, the Camels Hair Civ
ing a lustrous effect, without any
startling emphasis.
Camels' Hair Serge also at So
and S2.25, heavy, solid fabric.
Grape Cloth in six designs.
Mourning Cloth at 81.
Diagonals, ST and SI.5o.
Camels' Hair Diagonals and
Twills, and Imperial Serge.
A right royal selection of the
most admirable fabrics known to
the trade. Remember, all goods
above named are made of the
purest silk warps, the silk effect
permeating the entire fabric, Civ
ing sufficient luster and durability.
In the same make we can show
all-wool Priestlys in Drap d Alma,
Venetian, Ladies Cloth, Nuns
Yelling, Russian Grape Cloth, SUI
rah Twills, English Twills, Camels'
Hair Cloth, real India Camels'
